AH danger hts ceased.. The complete silence
which reigoett toward midnight, on account of the
barricades, which prevented the passage of all ve

profound calm existed through the night, broken
only from time to time by the qtti tit* of an ama

The red banner has been every where unfurled in

Ibsh ix New Voxx. —A letter in the Philadelphia
Inquirer of the 18th, says:
I have frequently seen the people of New York
excited, but never have I seen them so wild
and frantic with excitement as they were yester
day, on the receipt of tbo intelligence bv the Cam
bria, to the effect that a -popular revolution had
broken out in France, the consequence of which
was the deposition and flights of Louts PhUlippe,-
aod the establishment of a republic on the rums of
his throne. a
.The French people here, were positively beside
themselves. They knew not- how to express their
gratification at the realisation of their brightest hopes
They by common instinct abandoned their places ot
business and Hocked to the French cafes, to talk
over the matter and exchange'congratulations. The
tri-colored Hog was immediately hoisted on'every
French bote] and public house in the city.- Attempts
were made to get up meetings In. different place*,
but the parties were too much excited for any deli
berate action, and - the idea was t <dmndoned,. to be
carried into effect next week. ' '
The Irish .too were in' a ferment, and two or
three hoars oiler the arrival of the the
members of the Irish Confederation, without any
previous concert or understanding, found them
selves assembled ib large numbers atthiiir usual
place of meeting, the Shakspcare Hotel. iA formal
meeting of the body was proposed, .officers were
appointed, and some very exciting speeches were
delivered, in which it was asserted that lreland’s
time of liberation had at length arrived, and that
she must immediately lake advantage of England's
circumstances and free’’ herself. . Subscriptions
to,-the amount of one hundred thousand dol
lars were proposed, the money to lie sent as
coon as collected, to the Confederation -in Dublin,
to be expended in the purchase of arms and am
munition. , ,
A great -mass meeting of all the friends of Ire
land is called for' Tuesday evening. Our own
American citizens too were excited. In fuct, the
city resembled a boiling cauldron. Many a joke
.was crackedjnnd many a laugh enjoyed at the ex
pense of the El-King of France. In thejiar room
of oue of our principal hotels I saw a neat placard
of some two feet in breadth and width, with this
inscription.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Subject to ;be Decision* of the National Conven,
lion.
This placard was encircled with gauzeribboc*,
white, blue and red, and sormounied by miniature
French and American flags, connected together.
It was very significant, and attracted a good dea!
of attention. The anxiety to -bear further intelli
gence from Paris is intense. Many are undecided
.whether the revolution is complete and gcperal
over France, but the French' people insist that it is
and that the .rule of monarchy is over forever in
their native country. '

Hxeuseoeo, Mtreh 20th, ISIS.
I perceive by the Gazette of the lSth, that en
quiry is frequently made as to what action we are
tstrfng on the act passed by the State of Ohio, for
the incorporation of the Ohio and Pennsylvania,
railroad company. I wish you wthildmake ils'pub
tidy known »h*i no action can he had here until
certified'co pies of the Ohio laws have been receiv
ed.. It was made the duty of the Governor to trans
mit them. Wehaveenewspspercopyofoarlaw
but, even, ifit was ‘proper for our Legislature to
act on such a basis, it is necessary we should also
have a copy of the general law, upon which the
special law depends for nearly all its details. The
sth section reads “-Said company shall have'-all
the power and privileges, and be subject to all the
restrictions and provisions of the set regulating rail
road companies, passed Feb.' 11 ISIS.” It could
not be expected that our Legislature would enact
a law about the. provisions of which they know
nothing.
I do not wish to be suspected of neglecting mf
doty in this matter, hence I ask you as a favor to
: have a notice inserted in the Gazette— editorial or
otherwise, furnishing the explanation.
Tours truly, » GEO. DARSIE
PeXXSTI.VA.XU EATLBOAP SCrPLEMCOT.— The sop
pigment to the Pennsylvania Railroad charter, has
paved both branches of the Legislature, and is
now-in-the bauds of the Governor. This stipple
meat, says the Harrisburg Union, settles the ques
tion of legality in reference to the subscription to
the slock of the company, by tbe dty of rhiladel
fhia. and authorizes the municipal corporations of
’hihdelphia and Allegheny counties to subscribe
additional stock, provides lor a connection with the
Portage Railroad-—a temporary cooriec'toa we be
lieve until the'road is complrted—authorizes the
company tri pay six per cent per annum to stock
holders, and requires it to pay a handsome annua!
tax on tonnage to the State. \
This supplement, it is believed, will place the
company beyond aQ danger of embarrassment or
trouble in reference to subscriptions to the stock,—
in sufficient amounts to complete the’road at , the
verraarfiest practicable period. The provision
authorizing the payment or air per cent to stock
holders, wtil maze tbe stock a good investment to
every person having money to spare, and will] in*
sore the taking of tbe stock as soon as it may bo
needed, tad tbe taxon tonnage will make the road
'yield a very handsome revenue to the Common
wealth. We regard-this hill, tberefere as a grenr
advantage to tbe company, the people ofthe State,
and the State itself; and trust the day may not be
far distant, when a twelve boar’s ridu will Uko u»
to Pittsburghfrom this place.—PAif Jnq.
Do Dies at correspondent of
the Noife American, under date ofthe 21st instant,
says, that the Legislature having now fixed tbe pe
riod of adjournment, tbe members are‘now making
the moat of their time. They have adopted ithc
“ten hour” system, and are truly earning their per
diem. ' ' , .
Politicsareatalowebb. The Locos are playing
tho game of “ mum.® A few, however, are refrac-'
lory, and. “ vent their spleen." ' Mr. Buchanan is
not the “iavorile sou" or Pennsylvania, much less
is he the'favorite of his party in the Legislature.—
There are men here—tree spoken and fearless
nten, who confidently predict a diminution of votes
for the ticket in. their districts, should he be the
candidate. Many say they cannot vote for him—
othera will not work for turn; and some will take
stamp against him. All hope he may be defeated
in the nomination, and agree that be viU be in
election. General Cass is in no better odor, and
Woodbury is to “rank that be amelia-t»Heaven.”
I never saw a heartier feeling than tbe one now
pervading the Whig*. Every things is joy and
gladness. All isunionand harmony. 'Their creed,
is the creed of tbe revolutionary fathers,'and from
it ibejfc will not swerve title of a hair. Ail look
to the Whig National Convention,!';* the. Conve
ntion-will he composed of tbe sturdiest intellects of
the age, the tried patriots of the country, and they
will make no man the ‘standard bearer of the par
ty. unless steeped and baptised in the Whig faith.
. _£ nE vi/tEOF Otno.—The.Cip.ciutuoi Affasjffter
carefully reading the proceedings of' Whig meet
ings in li> counties, is satisfied that Mr. Clay
or Corwin is the choice-ofthe State, for the Presi

To 4Jbe Tax Payers «r Alleghany Caaaty.
: TLr mail Thursday has, communicated the
very astonishing feet that thd Board of .Revenue
assembled'' atHarrisburg,
i iattro increasedihe valuation of reslji&d. persons]
' property,ta thiscouniy beyond the atteasmeftts re.
_tura<id to them., by the 1 County CooimissiQher*,
: Tbeenect ofthi® decision'•'willbe^to
make our county pay ah increased Slate tax of
$6,572,01 per annum or during the next-three
years while this is u» remain .unchanged, we will
have to pay $25,715,03 beyond- the amount of our
present assessment This I believe' to be an out
-rage upon onr rights that wh ought .not quietly to
submit to., I have to day been examining some of
the statistics bearing upon this subject, and with
your permission, Mr. Editor, (propose communicat
ing a few of them to the tax-payers .of the county.
As James'ri. Craft, Esq., the member from this
county, has notiyel returned home, I have not
-teen able toleorn wbal representations were made,
narwhal evidence wasliid before (hit Board to
justify snch a decision. Xbe law under which this
■Board is organized, .provide* that they “shall be
confined exclusively’to-evidence which they're
ceive from citizens, officers and records of the res
pective -counties in adjnsiing the aggregate valne
oftbe taxable property ofiho counties respective
ly.” From all I can lepra 1 believe that oo legal
evidence was befcro that Board to justify such a
decision—and that the! County Commissioners
should disregard it and see if the State Treasurer
could enfbree;it by law. i
There bate been,. l pm well aware,M' Harris
burgh, during the last (bar years, loud complaints
in the Legislature - that [Allegheny county did not
pay her full quota of State taxes. This arose from
the assumption (correct in regard to most of the
other countie*,) that nearly all the tax we paid was
shown by the assessor*’ and collectors* returns.
The truth, however, is, that the State luxes paid by
(he actualcapital invested übout Ibe two cities is
not at alt shown by lboat returns- For example,
the amount paid for licences u> merchants, auc
tioneers, brokers, inn kefeper*, dec.,, would, .if redu-
ced to a 3 mill tax, indicate nu iuvestmeol equal
to $6,000,000
And banking capital is nearly 3,000,000
Other corporations, stocks and
miscellaneous items,: 3,000,000
512.000,000
That this floating capital does uoi. escape taxa
tion will be evident from the annexed*schedule ta
ken from the Auditor General’s reports:

til the close of this year. In most of the other
counties' capital represented in the first' column
pays -within very little of all the taxes derived
from them. Not so in oun, as the above table
shows. -* ' :
All ibis, however, is only introductory to the pri
mary object of ibis communication, !o.wiC the un
just action of the Revenue Board
owes its 'existence to!the Act of 29th of April,
1644. I have always believed that the principle
on which this Board wns organized was directly
hostile to the elementary principles of free govern
ment The members os this Board owe their aj>
appointment tojlhe Judges of the Court of Common
Pleas—they derive theirs from the Executive.
Tho hostility of.our Revolutionary ancestors to
being taxed by Parliament—the constitutional pro
vision that all bills for falsing revenue must origi- i
rmtw in the House of Representatives—are all at*
surdities—if twenty Revenue Commissioners, ap
pointed by the Judges of our Coarts, can to day ?*-
aess $3,000 .per unntiui upon the citizens cf Alle
gheny County, three years hence they may assess
$BOO,OOO , . . 1 •
The first Revenue Board, iftlB45 r fixed the ag
gregate assessments of Allegheny County at ?14,-
669,023. The triennial assessments returned to
the late Board, by oD tlie other counties, exclusive
of Allegheny, shows an increase about equal to

t3xtzti*E or Saxta AI-xxas A ; cor
respondent of the New-Orieans Ptcayune,
from Tehuscan, Mexict?, gives the subjoined ac
count of tbe “trophies” taken by the American,
officers arriving at that place.] Santa Anna, on hear-,
ing of. the approach of the American*, led in »ucb
hot haste that be had hot umc to attend tu aernr
ing his laggage.
The first feeling of disappointment having in a
great measure passed off, the public buildings and
spacious private dwelling* were searched, and it
yras a meagre satisfedion to find in the quarters *o
recently occupied by Santa Anna, a«part of his
best military ward robe, two of his.costly cane*,
his field gtat*, : a(id three trunk* containing his la
dy’s clothing. This served, et all events, to show
the chase was hot nnd thu departure ha»ty. His
mihtary. property was taken an legitimate spoil, and
theirunks containing his wife's clothing vrerc turn
ed over to the alcalde, ' A. receipt was taken for
thqm, and a letter addressed tn her illustrious hus
band by tbe lady, informed him of the disposition
made of the trunks, and, expressed regret at his
absence on the occasion of our appearing in hi*
quarters. It may seem trilling tv defend to an
estimate of the value of the articles taken, but it
will serve to show tlie extravagance nod love of
display of a m&n who affects to be a republican-
The Fcoat is almost covered with gold lace, and
cannht be worth less than seven or eight hundred
dollars.' This fell to the' lot of Colonel Hays, who
purposes presenting it to tbe Government of his
Stale. Both the canes taken are of great value,
being mounted with *go'<l and diamonds and other
precious stones. One of these beciuhe the proper
ty bf.an officer of the Rangers, aiid the olberof
Major Polk, who intends to present to the Freti
debt. Two magnificent cliapeaulrpde bras,.two
pair of gold epaulets, n sash of gold-cord and bul
lion tassels, and aa elegant writing jjtleak—all dis
tributed among tbe officers—complete the list of
valuables captured, with tbe exception of the field
glass, an excellent one, which tbe General appro
priated to himself, his only trophy.
This was'all private property. What right have
the officers of tbe American army to seize and di
vide smongi tbemselves the jrnvatt property of
Mexican citizens? If the American officers depre
date on the private property belonging to Mexican
officers, can they rightfully censure the American
soldiers for depredating on Ihe private property of
the MericnoZ? ’ •
] The Irtish is, this seizing of Santa Anmi’n coate,-
hats, canes, dec., is nothing less thou
Americans have just as much right to enter oil tbe
churches and private houses tn Mexico, and rqb
1 them of all their contents, as they have to appro
priate the. private- property of Santa Anna. : Jt t*
'true that tho Mexican general is’ h consummate
rascal, but his rascality does not justify rascality in
our officers- / However bad he may be, his moral
character, dcjfe not annihilate hi* legal right to hi*
wardrobe. * ■ ■
. These officers were exceedingly gallant I They
overisauled the wardrobe of tbe Mexican general's
wife, and, limiting their depredations to the proper
ly of her husband, magnanimously forbore to di
vide out among lhera*elras' the dresses, stockings
-shawls, petticoats, and other articles belonging tu
her! The reason why they docline appropria
ting these articles was, we presume: the con
viction that uone- of their wives would be so
shameless as to accept of articles pilfered from a
lady’s trunk. ' , . ~
Major Pdlk a cane -‘mouated with
mid and diamonds and otherprecious *toties,”und
this tropby is to be sent to his bnXher, the. Presi
dent Santa Anna will ,uot probably regret this
ileßtinutioa of hi, djne.; Ho i, indebted lo Mr.
Poltfor h»s positfon io Mekiro, and must therefore
unlea, he i, « «henimen!of;joini denravilr," feel
▼erv grateful : to • tbe President. Whenever Mr.
Polk uses this cane, in his private.rambles on the
bank of Duck'river, he will be remmdnd by it of
one of the most lively incidents in his own nod
his friend 1 , career.' To U sure the esneu* sto

’We do not think Mr. Polk will make auy]*eriob.
objections to the cane, on account of its having
been stolen. He.will reccuvo it and treasure it up
as the only trophy he gained during the prosecu
tion of tho war-with Mexico.
Suppose aMexican guerrilla party had unexpect

ibe liability to inundation, no buildings are erected
here bet those of -a cheap and temporary charac

water* subside sufficiently to admit cultivation, but
| from ibe fertility of the soil aiid its {favorable ex
posure, the growth of vegetation is very rapid,
and most articles are obtained here earlier than
anywhere else in the vicinity, if growing withodl
artificial heat.
This island, rents for ten to <

Mr. C. Bate* has occupied eighteen acres for
fourteen years, and liis produc s have amounted to

sand'dollsrs per year. Some c f his crops are very
heavy. Cabbages, lor instahe i, oro set about two
and a half to three feet apart, which permits eight

to do with the article than poor sani'Fafeh.! The uame

tdme'pateul medicine dealers iii Cincuiomi for the'
West and South, and another in New V'ork for the Bast,
who afterwards, it i« asserted, told oui to ti druggist in
Boston—«ti |Ue number of bands into'which it may have
changed i* an eolguta.
In some places they assert it emanated from a phy
ticisn in Fhiladelphin; in other*,’ front n physicinn in
